Falls Below the Average.

LuNcTuc f1CFulu.
Minnesota's last legislature, on the whole,
will not take high rank among its prede-
cessors O intelligence or business efficiency.
On the contrary, it will probably fall below
the average. While there were many good
and able men among its members, the body
as whole would scarcely be taken at first
sight for an assenbage of representative
Minnesotans. Aside from two or three es-
pecially good measures, the legislature has
accomplished but very little in the way of
general legislation. A good deal of time was
wasted in purposeless talk a vast number of
unimportant measures were passsd, and
many important ones were lost. The legis-
lature was evidently rather too liberal in the
expenditure of money in small matters, but
it was, on the whole, more than usually free
from the suspicion OF corruption. At any
rate, its record is clear of any such disgrace
as was brought upon the legislature of 1885
by the Doodle gang. whom an outraged people
relegated to private life in the last general
election.

Rubbing in the Salt.
MCntevideo Leader.

Already the legislature of 1887 is relocated
to the dim past and the most insulting epithet
one can apply to another is that The was a
member Of the last legislature" This is
wrong, and tends to shift the RESPONSE oility
of the acts of the historic body under consid-
Grafton upon the shoulders of individuals
rather than dividing the responsibility and
allotting to each voter his share of the bur-
den. But as it is the contemplation of what
was done is sufficient to drive gods to the
verge of distraction and eutitle the state 10
the fate that overlook Sodom and Gomorrah.
But such is life and legislature.

Believes They Were Bribed.

The innocent lower house was very prompt
to eXonate itself aud its members from any
faint of bribery. The house should have re-
membered that it was not the proper tribunal
to pass judgment on its own acts. The peo-
pie in the great state Of Minnesota will sit as
high court of impeachment, and if the acts
of this legislature will not be severely con-
demned two years hence, then we are greatly
mistaken. The voting of the members plainly
shows that they were bribed, and no resolu-
lions of innocense can make the people be-
lieve differently. Bribery is a difficult thing
to prove as. no witnesses are allowed to be
present when the doodle is handed over"

Cracking at the Senator's.

The people of Minnesota owe it to themselves
to remember that the continuance of unequal
legislative repres entation is due TO the DELHI
crate refusal of the senate to consider the
subject of reapportionment. More disgracafu
behavior has seldom been chargable again
law-making body. 1t is worse by far than
the unsavory back pay, salary grab of con
gress dozen or fifteen years ago. The fact
merely involved money. That refusal to
make reapportionment of our legislative
representation is a contemptuOus and impu-
dent denial of justice to people and 4 tramp
ling under foot of the constitution which re-
auires equality of representation and speci-
tes times and manner of readiustment.

One of the Bad Measures.

LOIR PTHITIB ATBUs.
One of the bad measures OF the late leRis-
lature which passed both houses was the act
abating the taxes on the George E. Skinner
lands. There was no need OF legislation on
this subject. According TO existing laws and
the decisions OF the courts, the fraudulent
railroad company would have been compelled
to pay taxes on theirlands or lose them. Tue
act was the result of powerful lobby on the
part Of the railroad company. We are
pleased to state that the members from this
district voted against the bill.

The Cow Nearly Went Dry.

The adjournment of the legislature was an
event devoutly desired by all prudent clti-
zens of Minnesota. Had the session lasted
twenty days longer its appropriations would
bankrupt the state. Every debtor, except
gamblers in stocks and spectators in the
products of industry, would be ousted from
his home EXtravagant appropriations of
public money were adopted with unQues-
toned recklessness and great majority of
the members of both houses appear to have
considered an extension of their legislative
bonanza necessary to give them time to milk
the public COW dry.
